... i got a Solo 2 DL and its been great...
Looking at some AIM documentation, it's not obvious that this product supports the OBD connection for the Mk 7. It's working for you? Just curious.

With stage 2 when I ran during a 50F ambient day, I was hitting 270 after 15 mins. That was WITH an intercooler. Without the intercooler I hit 285 in similar conditions. The direzza Z3 were overheated by the 15 min mark anyway. Honestly you're pushing hard and on grippy tires, so you're probably spending more time on power. I'd expect temps to go up as you get faster still.
Which wheel are you running now? 255/40 makes so much more sense! Haha
I mounted the 255’s on RSE16’s. 17x8.5 et45’s . A 9” wheel could be squeezed under the fender. I thought that I may have needed a fender roll. I had no rubbing issues at the track and I run my fair share of curbs. Even with my SuperPro LCA.
The nature of VIR means that you are on the gas down the three straights. So I’m curious whether a dual-pass high capacity aluminum radiator would help drive down the oil temps more?
I'm curious as to how much the engine derated based on the oil temps. I couldn’t match my pace from my mid March DE.

Now all I need is to get Apex to produce a set of wheels so I can upgrade my rotors on my PowerBrake BBK to 350mm.
I just got an external GPS to hopefully improve the data accuracy of HLT. Hopefully I can use it for some analysis and bring my actual PBs closer to my virtual.

I did the fender screw mod as a precaution. But they did not rub.
I agree that an oil cooler is required for track work. No question.
A 9” wheel will need a 5mm spacer in the rear to clear the shock tube. In the front some increased camber will help tuck the wheel. -2.5 to -2.75
An ET 40 may be too much to clear the front fender, so a 5mm spacer in the rear with an ET45 would be the best bet.
I need to get adjustable camber plates. These cars need -3 up front for the track maybe as much as -3.5 not to kill the outside shoulder.
Also, targeting virtual laps doesn't always make sense. Many software packages (I believe Harry's included) calculate the virtual lap time by taking the best section times and making the incorrect assumption that they would all connect properly. If you run a section time that is really quick but you come out too hot to properly execute the next section it still counts towards the virtual lap. I think it is better to do side by side videos and individual actual good lap analysis.
